EDITOR'S LAST SAY. What better can be said of Florence and several other Confederate military prisons? The sudden death of Winder as he was entering a banqueting tent for officers at Andersonville the evening of January 1, 1865, doubtless saved him from the fate that later overtook Wirz. And if Davis had been tried as an accessory to the fact, what would been his end? In fact, were not Wirz, Winder, and others accessories, and was not the principal at Richmond, as Mr. Blaine saw it? ADDENDA. The quotation on page 126 escaped proof reading and was not credited. It should read: Seeing too much sadness has congealed your blood The word "Gorrilla," for the use intended, should have been spelled "Guerrilla." A few other slight errors escaped attention in proof correction. Dedication Prelude Preface INDEX. Causes Leading to Civil War. Events Following Election of 1860...
